Sono Harris Is With Jesus – Pray for the Harris family. “Today, July 4, 2010, at approximately 11pm, our dear mother, Sono Sato Harris, passed away and went to be with her Lord Jesus Christ.

And it often lingers through the years, even after your children are grown and gone.”

The so-called Letter from Bambarre was scribbled by the Scottish explorer on torn-out book pages in February 1871.”
